Highly competent food, nice welcome, personable (and not spaced out) service, decent value. We tried their home smoked salmon (remarkable) and baked oysters (I've had a craving for those for a while). Then roast duck and lobster ravioli which were both well executed. Roasted beets were a real nice seasonal touch. Shared a dessert (beignets, which were maybe a little overcooked, but still good). $94 before tip. Room is a bit loud (often the case with open kitchens) but that wasn't a problem for me, as it has a nice feel. I know Fioravanti's was pretty popular on this board, and I liked it well enough, but to me, this is better. I am happy to see this addition to the Chester County scene. Behind Birchrunville, even a hair behind Majolica, this could be our 3rd favorite high-end BYOB in the county. We all want to support these places so we don't lose another one, but I don't know how well our dining budget can withstand a third favorite. We'll see how 2010 goes.

I'll ascribe the lack of response to everyone being away at Thanksgiving and missing this post.

The food was great and the staff was very accomodating. They had a nice touch on BYO as well, fully stocked mixer bar and trained bar tenders, just bring your own splits of alcohol for martinis, mixers, etc. Sun Dec 13 11:41:55 -0800 2009 5210958 263701 jec6
